While diplomacy is still vainly endeavouring to discover some means by which the further com plication of the war now ragieg in the North of Europe may, if possible, be prevented, and still more (if this could but be proved to be in any way practicable) some means whereby the war itself might be brought to a close without further bloodshed—the war, such as it is, not only con, thaues but threatens to become still more disastrous by reason of further and yet further complications. Sweden appears to be hesitating upon the verge— ready to plunge into the conflict side by side with Denmark, as opposed to the banded armies of the invading and aggressive forces sent against Denmark by the two chief Powers of Germany. The siege of Duppel seems to be pished on vigorously by the Prussians. Oa Wednesday the 16th, inst., a heavy fire had been opened by them on the Danish entrenchments. Simultaneously under cover of the Brosger batteries a fierce attack was made by large masses of Prus sians upon the centre and left of the Danish position. The rumoured result of this attack on Wednesday, is stated to have been the capture by the Prussians of tee° points occupied prior to the attack by the Danes—not, however, until after a severe encounter and a lamentable amount of blood shed upon both sides. Since then, as recently as the da•y before yesterday, the bombardment of the Duppel entrenchments has been reopened by the Prussians. With what result we have yet to learn. Meanwhile, we obtain information that on that very same day, Saturday, a powerful reconnaisance directed against Fredericia had led there to the driving back of the Danish outposts into the fortress: Notwithstanding which, a sharp fire both from the fortress itself within which the outposts had been withdrawn, and from the neighbouring gunboats, contrived to inflict some loss, though apparently not much, upon the enemy—so far keeping them at bay. If, how ever, on Wednesday, two positions at Duppel were lost by the Danes to the Prussians ; if on Saturday the outposts at Fredericia were compelled to draw back within the shelter of the fortifications hsfore the powerful reconnaissance of the German invaders—on Friday a naval engagement off Griefs wald ended in a wholly different way—leaving the Prussian men-of-war defeated by the blockading squadron of the Danes. While comparatively hale, if anything, comes of all this, towards the bringing of the quarrel between the Danish and German beligerents towards any definitive settlement one way or the other—these fragments cf warlike intelligence have at any rate this signifi cance about them, that they evidence the actual continuance of blemished at the seat of war, and the embittering thereby, of course, as a necessary con sequence, of the angry feeling already engendered between the belligerents. It seems lamentable that nothing whatever can be done by mighty Power. such as either France or England, or still more b y , bath of them together with a view to eI th ntel-r ap s ti j e l of this disastrous conflict, a conflict _ t4O lo nger it lasts the more likely to lead to tlan draggi ng c c others among the European Powers into , the whirling vortex Of the war It is gi nAttr of profound regret among" ourselves, here i n this country, that circumstances have precluded us from obtaining any distinct or definite knowledge of the actual position of things, even diplomatically, before the Adjourn ment of the Houses over the more than fortnight's hiatus of the Easter Recess. Happily, when Parliament does meet again, at the close of the Easter holidays, the whole oreblem of our Foreign Polion mere pkrtienlarly in reference to the Seilles. wig-Holstein Question, as latterly developed into a Dano-German war, must come speedily and bodily under the consideration of the Legislature. It appears to be fated that in the absence of those great party conflicts which often distinguish the opening weeks of the Parliamentary Session, the House of Commons shall this year have a plentifu' supply of excitement in the discussion of personal questions. Thursday evenang was especially fruit ful in the material for suah encounters, the greater part of the sitting being indeed occupied by them. The stormy debate upon the connection of the hon. member for Halifax with the Greco conspiracy threw into the shade the passage at arms between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. SHERIDAN in the e.arlier part of the evening, yet there was no lack of explanation, of indignation, and shall we say it ? of temper, in that same war of words. Into the details of the matter in dispute we are not disposed to enter. Mr. GLADSTONE thought fit to reiterate the charges which he had made on the previous oc casion against a certain assurance office with which he coupled the name of the hon. member for Dud ley. Mr. SHERIDAN indignantly denied the alle gations of Mr. GLADSTONE, and complained loudly of the affront put upon him. The chief point which will strike an impartial reader is the damage which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has done to a good cause by his indiscretion and want of cour tesy. Whatever may have been his motive for citing persons and companies by name—a proceed ing which was certain to provoke a tempest of op position to his measure—his excuse, that it was more manly to impugn a society which was represented in the House, can hardly be ac cepted. The matter was one in no ways connected with Parliamentary life, it was entirely distinct from the political arena, and unless Mr. GLAD STONE wanted to do that which he now professes himself to be anxious to avoid, and raise an issue not upon the merits of his Bill, but upon the demerits of the friendly societies, individually he would certainly have done better to avoid mention ing names and citing particular cases. The right hoc. gentleman's word is surely enough to sub stantiate any assertions he might have made in theit general features, and in many of the worst instances which he mentioned he followed the more prudent course. Discretion in this case, as in most others, would have proved to be the better part of valour, and we regret that Mr. GLADSTON E. should have followed such a course, chiefly lei the ill effect it has produced in the House, by nar rowing a question of the broadest general inheres! into angry personal dispute. It slitters very little to the public whether tae British Provident regis tered its accounts in the three years before or after 1853, or whether its receipts and expenditure were duly proportioned ; but it matters a great deal to a very large body of the industrious poor that they should have a safe investment for their savings. From the tone of Mr. GLADSTONE'S attack and ad r. SHERIDAN'S reply, a looker-ca might naturally have supposed that all existing friendly societies were to be seriously damaged by the introduction of this measure. The latter gentleman, indeed, seemed to think it an unanswerable retort on the Chancellor of the Exchequer that friends and relatives of his own were connected with as surance societies. But Mr. GLADSTONE brings i'crward no measure for the suppression of such societies or the curtailment of their business. He merely proposes to enter the field as a fair com petitor, with several drawbacks and the one great advantage of undeniable security. Is this such a very formidable opposition' If the societies gene rally are half as sound es they profess to be they have little reason to fear Government rivalry ; but a somewhat forcible argument on behalf of this measure is the eagerness with which the small depositors have availed themselves of the newly established Post-office savings banks. The amount of insurance affected, will, it must be remembered, be restricted to £lOO, and therefore all the large assurance offices must at once be put out of the cel culalion. There are a number of excellent and well managed associations for assisting the workingman in his efforts to provide for his family. But it is idle to pretend that in spite of these existing insti tutions, with whose operations no one proposes to interfere, hundreds of the poorer classes are con stantly being swindled out of their money by abso tate and intentional fraud, or forfeiting it through, the ignorance or extravagance of managers who know nothing of the art of management. Very recently several melancholy cases have come before the notice of our police magistrates, owing to a systematic fraud carried on by two or three men who pretended to represent a regular company, which in reality had never existed. It is difficult for working men and women, who have little tint or opportunity to prosecute such inquiries, to ascer tam the solvency of an office if actually existing and they are ready dupes of showily dressed and lour, voiced impostors, who find it only too easy to profess a respectability which does not belong to them. It must be a matter of deep regret to every honest man to see the hardearned savings of the labouring classes fall into such hands, and it is to guard against such catastrophes rather than to damage established offices that Mr. GLADSTONE'S measure was intended. Hon. members will do well to dis connect the two ideas in their minds, since they cannot doubt that cases of imposture, fraud, and mismanagement are common at the expense of the industrious poor ; still if people prefer to run the risk for the sake of lower premiums or larger bonuses, nobody intends to interfere with them. It is to be hoped that in the farther discussion of this matter all personal questions and references to par ticular societies will be avoided, and the question entered upon in that candid, enlightened, and tem perate spirit which alone befits the consideration on a measure affecting the vital interests of a iterge portion of the population. Let the bill be es- m i n ed on its merits, and if it be found to offer ! ea t a d var „ :ages to the working classes let it hare a fair trial, with any modifications of its e lausr ,d t h at may seem necessary. Lord S TANLEY, 'with his usual good sense, interposed a t t h e a tei ght of a somewhat angry discussion, and F r ainted out the desirability of choosing between 'cwo courses—that of adjourn ing the debate wa t h a view to exhaust the argu mentser of at once sen di ng the b ill upstairs ) r t o a a d n e e j consideration deration of a select committee. The for t easer of these courses was ultimately agreed to, ',eaeich, under the circumstances, was the most ( I .esirable, as it gives time for the anger and excite ' meat raised by the introduction of extraneous mate ters to die away, leaving room for a calm and 1 unprejudiced discussion. Now that the Easter Vacation has commenced, and Parliament has again suspended business for e brief period, it naturally occurs to the mind to in • quire what has been dons during the period which the session has already lasted. It sometimes happens that when events of unusual moment take place, and there is especial demand for the conside ration of Parliament that their particulars may be duly entered into, that somehow or other the most vexatious delays are continually interposed to re tard the course of business, and never eLding, still beginning obstacles spring up, which eeem to forbid the long-expected debate, or the anxiously THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1864. sought-for denouement. Seldom, however, has this Penelope style of legislation assumed a more vexatious shape or presented itself at a more in opportune moment titan in this seasion which has so recently dawned upon us. Here is the great recess of the period taking place, and yet no one can conscientiously say that we are a bit forwarder than when the opening day arose on the quiver of hones and fears, and the tiptoe of expectation. It is not the fault of the Government that Easter has fallen early this year, but it is undoubtedly true that they are very much to blame for taking such a mean advantage of circumstances, and making all the incidents of time and place conduce to one end, their retention of power. Of course the epoch at which we aro now arrived was well calculated upon before the opening of Parliament, and the early period of the holidays was considered a for tuitous concurrence by the Premier and his col leagues. Had Easter been as distant from the assembling of the House as it sometimes is, it would have been quite impossible for the Danish papers to have been kept back as they have been ; but as there was a definite goal to look to for encouragement, it urged on the officials to make a desperate effort and tide over the intervening weeks. Also, as an additional part of the affair, the holidays commence much earlier than they used to, and extend over a larger period than formerly. Thus, with one chance and another, with this pretext and that subterfuge, the adroit manoeuvre and the skilful plan, the end is gained and the desired point reached without an interchange of hostilities or a trial of strength. All this may add zest to the delight which the chiefs experience at a respite from their harassing catechisms, and impart a vivacity to the retrospect of events which their subordinates may take amid the delassements of their reprieve; but the impar tial scanner of occurrences from afar, the philoso phical speculator on the events that loom in the distance, all this must assume a very different aspect and appear in a very contrary form. In stead of an admirable arrangement which develops the strategic skill of statesmen, the spirit which eas distinguished the rulers in high places may be regarded as unworthy of themselves, the affairs treated of, and the assembly which was to have ccnsidered them. A clever dodge is not what we expect or desire to meet with when the representa ives of the people assemble in conclave to discuss the events and criticise the policy that contains an nistoric interest, and that concern the honour and compromise the dignity of our country, now before the nations of the world; and even, when the actors in these scenes have all been laid in dust, wilt sffect the fair fame and integrity of England in after generations. Mr. DISRAELI made some very appropriate remarks the other evening concerning the length of the vacation, and it would be well it the House generally took more part in the settle ment of these matters. History may authorise, and courtesy sanction their being left to Ministers to decide upon, but there are exceptions to every rule. It would have been a very proper time to have de parted from precedent when those in authority were not content to use their opportunity, but abused it in the most reckless fashion. Before the House is again in a settled state how much may have occurred to make a "situation," and to create disasters no afterthought can remedy, and no zeal can compen sate for. It is a sad and serious subject for reflec tion, and one which displays so many grievous points for consideration, that some may be tempted to push it aside with the thought that it is no use to forecast misfortune and forestall trouble; bat evils must not be parried after this fashion, and difficulties and dangers should be met with vigour and watched with vigilance. It is no use mincing the matter, and the epitome of this session, so far as it has gone, is a very unsatisfactory cue, Nothing has been done to cheek the arbitrary encroachments of the German Powers, nothing has been attempted to afford succour to Denmark, either by the aid of moral or material support, though the Prime Minister last year almost promised that in the hour of peril she should not be left alone, and the Prin cess of those shores is the mother of our future King. Nothing has been done to stem the tide of insolence which America has poured forth during the last few months, nor has anything been effected in the way of amending the policy of Ministers in ;heir maintenance of a miscalled non-intervention .theme, The Roman Emperor inscribed the famous motto, Perdtdi client, as the record of those hours which had seen no good or gre ;L wor k accent plished, and it would seem 'chat our legi s l a t ors "sitgnalise their attempts might with equal candour by a like sombre deF enition. The futu re s till rre mains, and let them make a decid e d use o f i t . Let work be ;tone in good earnest, and with a hearty goad will. This is not a year when the patrio tic member, the far, seeing statesman, or the con 7c4.entious minister would seek to take it easy; all foretells a storm, and the men who sneer at the thought of danger, and cavil at the notion of pre paration, are not wise enough to mould the shape of our destinies, or worthy to represent the spirit of our great and glorious country. It is earnestly to be trusted that when the recess is over strict atten tion will be paid to the sober details of the business of the land, and no heed be taken of the petty squabbles and angry bickerings and details which have hitherto occupied so large a Aare of the time of the House. Personalities in public, private, or political questio ns are at all times most unw i se; they fritter aw a y energies that are meant for a nobler employm en t, mind that stool and excite and irritate the d seek a higher sphere for its direc tion, This respite will claim no holiday for many oppressed nationalities, and it is but fitting that the all imr 2 ortant question of our foreign affairs should receive the respect which is its due. Here we have Earl RUSSELL absenting himself from the House of Lords very much after the fashion in which Lord PALMERSTON disappeared from the assembly of which he is the leader. A very different demeanour must characterise all the members of the Govern ment, if they hope and expect to keep the goodwill or favour of the people. Unsatisfactory is the re trospective glance, cheerless the present prospect, and dimly vagae and uncertain the future view of nor foreign policy. With what a different feeling were our ancestors animated when the moral earth peke and the mental hurricane darkened over the previously serene and unclouded sky. Constant resort to measures of expediency so confuses and paralyses the efforts that it is inveasible to attain to any elevation if there is ant some guiding landmark which cannot be oved. It is a proud reflection for a Minister to sustain him in the times of extremity, that he pos sess the confilenee of his countrymen, that they look to him for guidance, and trust to him for coun sel, and so la'ghly esteem the memory of his past services that in any future entanglements "The regrets of the good, and the tears of the wise, Shall turn to the Pilot who weathered the storuL" ROSSINI'S NEW MASS, which has been so long spoken of, was perform , -d this week for the first time at M.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) CADIZ, MARca 20. Advices received here from St. Domingo to the 19th ult., state that the insurrection there was decreasing. According to intelligence from Mexico to the 20th ult., the Franco-Mexican troops were advanc ing in the province of Zacatecas. The Juarist guerillas had everywhere been put to flight. THE HEALTH OF HIS HOLINESS, Exaggerated rumours as to the health of His Holiness have been freely published in the columns of several among our contemporaries. From infor mation received direct from the Eternal City, we learn that while the Pope, it is true, has had a slight attack of gastric fever—no alarm whatever had been caused by the malady of the Holy Father, and the administration of the last Sacraments had never once been thought of. Considerations of prudence had naturally precluded the Pontiff from dreaming of taking any part himself in the fatiguing functions of Holy Week. • As to the statements put forth by the Roman correspondent of our contemporary, the Morning Post—in one case, as to the nomination by the rope himself of his successor, and, in the other case, as to the Pontiff's death being notified by the striking of the Dead Pope's forehead with a golden hammer— they were simply ridiculous. As to the Pope's reported nomination of his suc cessor, the Morning Post's Roman Correspondent writes—" If it is true that Pio Nono has already drawn up chirographic instructions for the selection of his successor--u fact, by the bye, which I can hardly credit, so entirely is it opposed to all Papal precedent—the choice of the conclave will be re stricted to three cardinals, viz., Patrizi, Barnabo, and Bofondi, whom His Holiness is said to consider as best adapted to govern the Church in these troublous times," &c. "Ifit is true ! " True !—it is simply impossible. The Pope being no more able to appoint his successor than the sovereign of these reaimE, or, let us say, than the President of the American Republic—than the President of either of the American Republics. Tne same Correspondent's statement to the Morn ing Post in regard to the mythic use of the golden hammer is so eccentric of its kind as a specimen of Roman correspondence, that it is worth giving in the writer's own words :—" Among the traditional ceremonies observed on the death of a Pope is the official attendance of the cardinal camerlingo [while the story was being told the Correspondent might just as well have spelt the word rightly, and called it camerlengo] at the bedside of the defunct with a golden harmer, with which he raps three times on the deceased Pontiff's forehead, invoking him each time by name. Receiving no response, the comer • lingo [camerlengo] assumes in the interim the reins of government, and announces to the cardinals their duty of electing a successor." The whole of this pretty little fable being, after all—as already said —purely imaginary ! According to the very latest intelligence received from Rome in regard to the present state of the Pope's health, we read, under date "Rome, 14th March," as follows : " The papers will have told you that the H. F. is not well. He has been in bed for ten days, and yes terday two gatherings is the leg wore opened, which gave much relief, but it must be a trial of his strength. The medicines given have been frequent and strong, and very little food, so that he must be weak. All business is suspended until after Egster : so no ordinary business can be carried to him. Still I hope it [his health] is prugrLssing favourably." FRANCE. PARIS, MARCII 21. The Moniteur of today says:—" Some journals announce the discovery of a conspiracy against the life of the Emperor.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 9. The Danish brig Alf, 142 tons burden, Captain M. Andersen, was captured a few days ago off the Dardanelles, while lying at anchor opposite the island of Tenedos, by the Austrian gun boatVelebich which is usually stationed in the Bosphorous, and has been towed, probably into some Austrian port on the coast of Dalmatia. The circumstances are stated to be as follows :—The Alf which had ar rived in Malta from Rio Janeiro with a cargo of coffee on February 6, having discharged a portion of her cargo, left that port for Constantinople on February 16, having on board 1,200 bags of coffee consigned to M. P. F. Petrochino of this city. Her departure, it seema, had been telegraphed from Malta ; and the Austrian naval commander-in chief at once despatched the gunboat on the way to Corfu, to look out for her. The unsuspecting Alf was riding quietly at anchor between Besiha Bey and Tenedo, when the gunboat fell in with her; a blank shot was fired across her bows; Capt. Ander sen ran up the Danish flag ; and an armed boat from the Austrian steamer immediately boarded her and declared her a prize. The Austrian Lloyd's mail-boat, which arrived here on Friday afternoon from Trieste reports having met the gun boat towieg the brig off Cerigo. The cargo was insured for war risks at Lloyd's, and it is presumed that as it was not contraband of war, and was consigned to a neutral, Lloyd's, under the provia sion of the treaty ot Paris, will have it restored, or receive its value free n the Austriar Govern. meat. The question, however , remains whether he vessel itself, having been seized within three miles of Turkish land, and therefore in Turkish eaters, can bs considered, according to interne- Tonal law, a legal prize. The Danish Govern ruent will assuredly maintain that it cannot. H.ll S. C3radec arrived at Constantinople on ‘londay tnoroing last, having on board his Esce!- eney Sir Henry Butwer, on his return frost Western, after au absence of some months, AMERICA. (From the Times Correspondent.) (Per the Asia, via Roche's Point, March 21, 11.10 a.m.) NEW YORK, MARCH 9, 1 P M. In the absence of official information from Gen. Sherman, most unfavourable reports continue to circulate. One account, via New Orleans, states that on the 16th ultimo he was defeated near Meri den, with the loss of 15,000 men, and that, with the remnant of his army, he was retreating to Vicksburg, pursued and harassed by a large force of Confederate cavalry. Travellers who left Vicksburg on the 3d instant assert that he had arrived in that city, but do not state whether with the whole or a part of his army. The Confederate Generals Migruder and Taylor, with 20,000 men, are reported to be advancing into Eastern Louisiana, from Berwick's Bay. Admiral Farragut opened fire upon Fort Powell, on Dauphin Island, commanding Grant's Pass Chan nel to Moble, at daylight on the 23d ult. One Federal gunboat was sunk, but the result of the bombardment iE unknown. Confederate telegrams from Charleston of the 4th report that 1,250 Federal shells had been fired at the city during the previous fortnight, but without doing any damage. Blockade running had been actively resumed, and an average of two vessels weekly had succeeded in reaching the city. The Confederates, under General Pickett, are again threatening Newbern, Plymouth, and Wash ington, North Carolina. Four Confederate rams, plated with 10 inches of iron, and carrying four guns each, will eo-operate with the land forces. The steamers S. P. Thomas, Titan, and Jollar, plying on Chesapeake Bay, were captured by the Confederates on the sth inst., and taken up the Rappahannock. One of the four Federal colonels killed in Kil patrick's recent raid upon Lee's communications was a eon of Admiral Dahlgren. On his dead body were found an address and instructions to the soldiers under his command, which declared that when once they were in Richmond the city must be destroyed, and Jefferson Davis and his Cabinet killed. General Meade has been summoned before the War Investigation Committee, in consequence of statements by Generals Sickles and Doubleday that Meade ordered a retreat of the Federal forces on the first day's battle at Gettysburg, and again on the second, which orders only failed to be executed through General Sickle's engaging the enemy. Meade is also accused of having expressed the opinion that the Confederates could not be con quered. Admiral Wilkes is also to be subjected to a court martial for disobedience of orders and insubor dination. General Grant has arrived at Washington, and been received by the President, whom he met for the first time. An amendment of the Constitution of the State of New York, permitting soldiers to vote in camp, was yesterday carried throughout the State by a large Republican majority.

NEW YORK, MARCH 8 (Evening.) (Per the Asia via Roches Point.) It is reported positively that General Sherman returned to Vicksburg on the 3d inst. Southern despatches state that he was at Canton on the 28th badly harassed by the Confederate cavalry. He laid waste the country along his route. Doubtful rumours from New Orleans state that Polk defeated Sherman on the 16th ult. near Meri dian with severe thee. General Johnson was pressing the Federal lines in Tenneesee. The Federals have withdrawn from Tunnelhill to Ringold. Longstreet's cavalry hold Bull'sGap,s6 miles from Knoxsville. His army is at Greenville. The Federals occupy Morristown, 42 miles from Knoxville. Colonel Dahlgren, who was cut off from Kil patrick's command, was killed. Upon his person papers were found, informing the troops that their mission was to burn Richmond, release the Federal prisoners, and not allow Jefferson Davis to escape. Kilpatrick's loss is variously estimated at from 150 to 50 men. The bombardment of Fort Powell, Mobile, on the 30th, is confirmed. The Confederate ram was lying under the gunb of Fort Morgan, and reported to be preparing to attack the Federal fleet. The Bohemian has broke up and is a total loss. The City of New York, Nova Scotian, and Bavaria have arrived out. The Federals at Newbern are preparing to resist the threatened Confederate attaek. The Confederates have two rams ready to co=operate in their movement. It is reported that 20,000 Confederates are advancing from Texas towards Western Louisiana. Active dispositions are being made by the Federals to check this movement. The Federals are also sending reinforcements to hold Jacksonville, Florida, but have abandoned further expeditions into the interior. The Confederate General Preston has left for Mexico, for the purpose of concluding a commercial treaty, based upon the mutual recognition of the Confederate and Mexican Governments. The House of Representatives has passed the bill, authori3ing Mr. Chase to anticipate the pay ment of interest on the public debt, but not to sell gold. The Republican ticket has been elected by a large majority in New Hampshire. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MARCEL 9, 1 p.m. Money easy. Gold advanced under an active demand to 69.

The arrangements of the Snakepere Festival are so far completed as to admit of the following announcements : On Thursday, April 21, there will be given a great concert, in the Agricultural Hall, under the control of Mr. Jules Benedict. On Friday, April 22, a great concert will take place at the St. James's Hall, which Mr. Benedict will also conduct ; on the same evening a Grand Shaksperian masque, at the Agricultural Hall. On Saturday, April 23, there will be Shaksperian performances at Drury-lane, the Hay market, Princess's, Adelphi, and St. James's; also, a grand Shaksperian fete at the urystal Palace. On Monday even ing, April 25, there will be a Shaksperian performance at Sadler's Wells and at the Strand ; on Tuesday, April 26, at the Victoria ; and on Thursday, April 28, at the Surrey and the Britannia. All these performances will include a play or a scene from Shakspere. Mr. Buckstone will perform " Twelfth Night," "Bunkum," and " Venus and Adonis ;" Mr. Falconer "Henry the Fourth;" and Mr. Fechter " Hamlet." THE SHAKSPERE TERCENTENARY.—The mana gers of the London theatres had a meeting on Satur day at the rooms of the National Shakspere Committee, 120, Pall-mall, to arrange the time for the performances which are to take place in,aid of the Monument Fund. Mr. Benjamin Webster, by whom the meeting had been con vened, presided, and many of the leading managers were present. It was finally agreed that the best time for such performances to take place would be during the weeks com mencing Monday, April 18, and ending on Saturday, the 30th. The plays awed will, for the most part, be Shakspere's own, and, on the night of the day itself, as wr l .l as those immediately before and after it, " special and interesting features," according to the report of the daily papers, " will be imported" into these performances. Of the nature of the said "features," however, we are left in the dark. Did it ever occur to any of those who are interesting them selves in the present movement that we are about to cele brate the tercentenary of Shakspere on a day which is not the anniversary of his birth at all? Shakspere was born, lived, and died during what is called " the old style," when the calendar was 12 days behind what it is now. The real anniversary of his birthday, therefore, is not the 23d of April, but the sth of May. Perhaps it was wiser to maintain the apparent rather than the real exactness ; but those whose enthusiasm has not exhausted itself by the end of April may have a second celebration on the sth of May, with gretater appropriateness than at the earlier date.— London Review. The will of this illustrious man, which consists of three sheets of brief paper, has, by direction of the judge of the Court of Probate, been very carefully cleaned, and each sheet placed in an elaborately polished oak frame, between sheets of plate glass. The frames are made air - tight, and on the top of each is a brass plate engraved, Shakspere's Will, 25th March, 1616 ;" and each one is fastened with one of Chubb's patent locks, This excellent plan prevents its being handled when shown to the pubiio, and will very much add to its preservation. The three frames fit into a beautiful oaken box, and the memorial is now well worth seeing by those who take an interest in the coming Shakspere Tercentenary. The judge has also sane ti,,ned the taking of photographs of it, but in the presence of one of the record keepers of the court. This permission was refused by the late Sir Cresswell Cresswell. LONDON ARTILLERY BRIGADE —A detachment of this corps attended gun practice at Plumstead on Satur day last, when some excellent shooting was again made, worthy of that of the Royal Artillery. There is to be a full-dress inspection of the corps by the commanding officer in Westminster Hall on Thursday evening, preparatory to the Guildford review. DUPREZ'S SINGING PUPPETS.—After a grand dinner given last week at the Tuileries, the Einpres3 favoured her guests with a private performance of the famous Guignol of Duprez. This anain-nt artist has recently con structed for his own amusemciit, at the village of Valmon dois, of which he is mayor, a sma2l theatre of singing pup pets. The figures are masterpieces of art, and are particu• larly successful when they sing, beint animated by the voices of Duprez's children, Madame VanJanheuvel, and Leon Duprez, who give parodies of all the best scenes of the operas performed at the Grand Opera and Opera Co mique with such cleverness as to excite the admiration and laughter of their audience. The Emperor occupied a stall in the first row, and the whole performance was most stic cessful, particularly in the part where Madame Vanden heuvel sang the air of the " Traviata" and M. G. Duprez the " Gastibelzl," of his own composition. Since this performance at Court, numerous applications have been made to Duprez to give private performances, but his puppets only sing for their Majesties find for his own inti mate friends. EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF GARIBALDI IN ENGLAND text week or the week afterwards.—On Thursday last Signor Casta, a Italian exile, residing at Chelsea, communicated to the secretary of the Trades Garibaldi De mo❑strations Committee (a committee formed about twelve months since, consisting of delegates from trade societies, to give a public welcome to Garibaldi, who was at that time expected) that General Garibaldi would be in London by the end of the present month at the latest. On receipt of this communication the secretary at once telegraphed to Caprera, and received a reply to tne effect that Garibaldi had left the island, it was believed, en route for England. If, therefore, no circumstance should arise to prevent it, Garibaldi's arrival in this couni.ry may be looked for in a few days. The demonstration committee have been called together for the early part of the next week, to organise the proceedings, which it is intended shall consist of a pub lic entry into Loudon, and a banquet, probably at the Crystal Palace. The 3d London Rifle Volunteers have, through their commandant, Major Richards, cote ented to act as a guard of honour to Garibaldi on the occasion,— The Observer. CUItIoUS CASE OF CONTEMPT OF COURT.—The rather unusual course of committing a witness for contempt of court was taken on Thursday by Mr Justice Ball, at the Belfast Assizes. A man named Liddy was examined as to his knowledge of the circumstances of a case of seduction, and amongst other questions his lord ship asked him if he was a publican. He replied in the nega tive, but stated that he was a shiner ; ana this so offended nis lordship that he reprimanded him. The witness sharply retorted that he could not answer questions be did not understand, adding that he was incapable of doing a mean thing. His lordship at once wade out a warrant, and the sheriff took the witness to prisoit. THE RICH PRAIRIES AND FERTILE LANDS OF THE RED RIVER AND SASKEWATCHAN.-A corre spondent writes :—Wo are glad to find that Sir Edward Grogan has brought to the notice of Parliament the pre posterous claims of the Hudson's Bay Compatly and their successors to the richest portion of our American colonies, three times as large as France, with fertile land,; and a climate free from fever and ague, the curse of the Un;ted States prairies. If these lands were opened to settlement; under the Crovin, as intended by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, when Colonial Secretary, they would soon rival the sister colony of British Columbia founded by him. The lease of the company was out several years ago, since which they have been holding as tenants at will, till we heard the Under Secretary's reply that they are the owners of millions of acres, to which they have no just or legal right, but which belongs to the Crown as the trustees of the public. We want to know how these assumed rights were obtained and when; we want to know if the case had been fairly argued before the Privy Council who were the advocates on behalf the Crown, the public, and Canada, or, if the thing was done in the dark, an illegal Whig job which must be brought to a higher tribunal. The public here won't suffer it, Canada and the British colonies wont suffer it. We must know the ins and outs of the whole transaction, which must be brought for adjudication to the Privy Council, and then decided on its merits. Parliament has abolished all the monopolies save this, and the sooner this is done, and all British subjects iu our colonies placed on an equality, the better. There must be no exclusive privileges—no monopolies of trade ur land—no surrender of the public rights to powerful Whig families, as done by the Government in this case: The Lisburn bribery case came on for trial at the assizes for Belfast on Friday. It will be remembered that Mr, John D. Barbour, who was returned as the represen tative for Lisburn in February, 1863, was unseated by a decision of a committee of the House of Commons, and a prosecution directed against him and his brother Robert for bribery and treating, Mr. Robert Barbour was on Fri day indicted for these offences, arad after a lengthened hearing of the case the jury found a verdict of not guilty. THE ITALIAN FLEET.—From a report presented to the Italian Parliament, it appears that the Italian fleet is now composed of 14 ironclads, 34 screws, 36 paddle steamers, and 18 sailing vessels, carrying an aggregate , 1,324 guns ano 21,930 men.
